N EC K-YOKE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 705,411, dated July 22, 1902.

Application filed March 3, 1902.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EnwnnmD. JURY, a citizen of the-United States,'.residing-at Clearfield, in the county of Olearfield and-State of 1 of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the Figure 1 is a front elevation illustrating the' application of my neck-yokes to a spreaderbar. Fig. '2 is an enlarged detail perspective view of the neck-yoke.

Referring to the drawings, 1 denotes the main bar of the neck-yoke, which is preferably made of metal and terminates in two diagonally-extending underlying arms 3. At the point-where the ends of the bar are bent eyes 4 are formed for the rings 5, to which the breast straps or chains are adapted to be connected. The inner ends of the diagonally-extending arms are each provided with a hook 6, one being parallel with the other and forming a lap-ring to receive a ring A, carried at the end of a spreader-bar B, to which spreader-bar is secured the neck-yoke center 0. The downstraifnuponthe spreaderbar will have no tendency to disengage ring d from the neck-yoke. The only way by which the center may be disengaged from the neck- Serial No. 96,437. (No model.)

yohe is to spread the arms laterally apart and separatethehooksthereofgone from the other and permit of the remoyal of the center.

The-device,-if desired, may be used as a whiffletree.

j From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction, mode of operation, and advantages of the invention will be readily understood without requiring an extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and details of construction may be made within the scope of the invention without departing fromthe spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.

Having thus described myinvention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

.1. .A neck-yoke comprising a bar having diagonally-projecting arms formed with 00- acting books at their inner ends to produce a lap-ring, substantially as set forth.

2. 'A'neck-yokecomprisinga bar, the ends of which are bentjtoform eyes and diagonally-projecting underlyingarms", the ends of said arms being formed with opposing hooks which overlap each other to form a-lapring, substantially as set forth."

3. A neck-yoke comprising a bar having diagonally projecting and yielding arms provided with coacting members to engage a ring, said members being separable by the yielding action of the arms, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

EDWARD D. JURY.
